Ken
thx for you help all we ever knew was it was NW Wales and when he first
came to Ohio he lived with a family named
Edwards Williams I have found this from i think it was the 1861 records
David J Griffith
16
Llanfihangel Y Traethau, Merionethshire
Son
Griffith Griffith
36
Father
Catherine Griffith
34
so one thing I was wondering if that the first david john griffith maybe the
Williams were related to him some how and he stayed with them
for some unknow reason? its always so hard to say

Hi Allen,
Do you know where in Merioneth he came from? Even a small hint would
help narrow the possibilities.
For example, a quick search in the 1851 census for Merioneth resulted
in the following hits:
- David John Griffith, b. 1845, living at Llanfihangel y Traethau
- David Griffith, b. 1842 , living at Nannau, near Llanfachreth
- David Griffith, b 1842, living at Ffestiniog
- David Griffith, b. 1846, living at Llanfihangel y Traethau
The problem with the first (David John Griffith) is that the surname
of all other members of the household was Williams. The other David
Griffith at Llanfihangel was the son of a widower named David Griffith.
